Michael Jordan 1986 Playoffs: Gm 1 Vs. Celtics, 49 Pts

History tends to forget this game merely because in Game 2, MJ scored 63. But this game had MJ attacking the basket more since in Game 2, the Celtics tried to close the driving lanes. It didn't matter, MJ dominated with an inside or outside game even after a 64 game layoff with a broken foot. After this game, Bird said they'd never let him scored 49 again. He was right - he got 63 next. These were the Celtics that won the Championship that year. MJ showed the world what he was capable of against the greatest team in just his 2nd year. Young MJ filled up the highlight reel every game.
